Martin's research is about understanding how plants respond to increasing CO2, temperature and changing water availability. He is also interested in how this response of the vegetation to global change, affects the rate of climate change. He is particularly interested in ways to utilise experimental and satellite data to develop evidence-based models with a predictive capacity.

Martin is a member of the management committee for the Community Atmosphere Biosphere Land Exchange (CABLE) model, Australia's community land surface model.

2018-2019 Summer Vacation Research Scholarships

Applications are now open online for the Summer Vacation Research Scholarship through UNSW Scholarships.

UNSW Science Summer Vacation Research Scholarships expose highly talented undergraduate students, enrolled in Science or a related discipline, to scientific research and other science-based experience, and further their education and inspire them to consider research or related activities. The scholarship program will run for a six week period over the Summer Semester (November to February).
